About Isabelle Mercier |

Defining Moments in her Career
It was in 2002, when she first stamped her authority at the Masters Classic of Poker, Amsterdam. She finished 2nd in N/L Holdem Event, which helped her to earn around $50,000.
Her nick name ‘No Mercy’ was given by a fellow great player, Mike Sexton at the World Poker Tour 2004, which she won hands down by securing first position and earned $25,000 cash prize as reward.
Her other achievements include 2004 Legends of Poker, first position and another first in the European Poker Grand Finale at Monte Carlo in March 2005.
As a person, she is the one who likes traveling and moves almost 12 months in a year. She is very much variety seeking, and likes to see everyday as a fresh day having no bearing of the past.
As of womens' position in poker, she feels that this is one game where it does not matter, which sex you are, but she still believes that having an All Ladies Tournament does serves a purpose as far as it attracts female players to enter the world of poker.
